I have no knowledge of what sledgehammer is. However...

This description makes sledgehammer sound identical to Mathlib's `grind`. https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Init/Gr...

The goal (ATP) is similar but the idea is a bit different, sledgehammer is not directly learning/applying rules but instead effectively a driver for invoking a bunch of ATPs + SMT solvers at once on a goal in Isabelle/HOL.
